Simmons really is shocking. Nothing worse in the NBA than paying a guy to be the second superstar and having him be a no show when it counts. Porzingis the same way.

I am absolutely no fan of KP and the Clippers turned him into a hood ornament this year… but even he is not on the same level as Simmons. Passing up wide open dunks in crunch time and shooting in the 30s from the free throw line. He is absolutely useless.

It's one thing to be bad at shooting jumpshots/free throws like Giannis is. It is completely different to seemingly not care at all that you can't do it like Simmons does. Just ridiculous. And Embiid and Doc's postgame comments make it sound like he's definitely going this summer one way or another.

I have a couple friends from Philly so I asked them, who was the last athlete Philly hated as much as Simmons when they were playing for Philly. They went all the way back to Eric Lindros, one of the biggest flat-track bullies in NHL history. We’re talking once-in-a-generation hatred.

Bucks in 5??

Depends on which Holiday and Middleton show up

Went to bed at 10. Set the alarm for 1 am and watched the sixers totally choke.

Simmons just has not been himself in this series and the whole team just seemed nervous yesterday. Can see that being Ben's final times in a sixer's shirt.

Refs made some terrible calls but does not excuse that 4th quarter performance.

Gutted.

We go again.

Half 1 throw in.. it will be the same time for 7 games if 7 games are required, nightmare time.. it's too early to go to bed and get up for it and it's too late to stay up for it.

Wow. Did not expect the Hawks to steal that at all.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It's wild how the Sixers and Bucks can year in and year out not show up in big moments. Last year's Heat and these Hawks are man for man nowhere near as good but aren't afraid of the moment the way guys like Middleton and Simmons seem to always be.

 

[Nymzee]

Go Hawks.

Coach Bud up to his old tricks, playing like it’s game 27 of the regular season.. on the bright side the bucks didn't play well and Young had a career game which he won't match again this series and Bucks only lost by 3.

He had a great game alright, some of his assists were outrageous.. he needs to have similar performances for 3 of the 6 remaining games which I don't see happening and if it does coach bud needs the sack.
